HAVE SOME FUN WITH A NEW GRAMMAR QUIZ 4-U-2
HAVE SOME FUN WITH A NEW GRAMMAR QUIZ 4-U-2
Remember back when I did a quiz with the homonyms "there, their and they're"? Well here is another one, wherein you will have to correct the errors in the following paragraph. The homonym words are different this time, and there are three different sets of homonyms. There are 20 errors, and with 5 points for each correction you can get 100%.
WHAT TO DO
Copy the following paragraph and paste it to a PN addressed to me, Buzz of the Orient, and then delete the error words and replace them with corrected ones, and then send it to me. I will get back to you with your score and, if any words were wrong, a corrected and bolded word in its place. Keep in mind that I am on the other side of the world from most of you so I might be asleep when you reply, but I will get back to you within a day. In case of a glitch that prevents my getting your answer (which HAS happened) please post a comment below to say that you have submitted, which will also help to keep this quiz visible.

Watt, their was sum thing wrong width that para graph...?
It depends.
Not in Arkansas it wasn't
LOL
Wait a minute, if today is the sixth and you add 7 days to get to 13, one week, you would end up on a Monday. And I even looked at the calendar just now and yes there it is, Sunday is the 12th of April.
You're right. I never was that good with math. I meant MONDAY.
Are you spending you’re holidays sitting around bored with nothing too do?
Nope.
In fact for me the opposite is true!
Then due wat u like 2 doo.
Oh Kay!
I've been writing some stories for over a year now... I don't think they are good enough to publish, but it helps me keep sharp my grammar skills sharp.
I taught English to high school students for 6 years and then for a lot of years privately after that and I'm still not so sure about my spelling.
I'm certainly glad this wasn't a spelling test. I've been trying to type tounge for years and it's always tongue. I've also never met a coma or an ellipsis I didn't like.
Hi spik ten langviches, Hanglish da best.
Ignore my first PN. I didn't pay attention to the directions. I sent another one
Okay, done.
ATTENTION PARTICIPANTS
It's been correctly pointed out that the closing date for this quiz which I said was Sunday April 13 was meant to be MONDAY April 13th. My English may be okay, but my math isn't.
Per haps your nut a methemeticn butt yu pla won ohn teevee?
Not likely.
Submitted.
Needed to do this now, I may knot get the chance again by Monday knight.
I was correct of not having time to do this on Monday, but not for the reasons I thought at the time. Monday started out with a customer with a machine down and spent the morning collecting tools and then driving 80 miles there and after six hours getting them going again.
And to top it all off we are track to have our second 500 year flood in six years. The flooding has already compromised the bridge that comes in from the north causing us to close it.
Time to call it a day for this quiz. Only four members participated, and all 4 graduated with perfect 100% honours. In order of participation, the winners are JohnRussell, evilone, Trout Giggles and bccrane. Thanks to all four for (lol - 3 of the quiz words) playing.
